First post in a while, obv

Its tough to blog, play poker, work and deal with a wife and 3 kids. throw into that mix a couple of inpromptu chaotic situations, and blam something gets overlooked.

Had an emergency with my son when he feel and cracked his head on concrete. We ended up can ambulance, but he is ok now. Except for a case of croup. All of the kids are sick right now.

I found out my brother is hooked on heroin, he's already on a 35 year suspended sentence for dealing cocaine to an informant.HE has already served 2 years b/c of the frugs. Its really sad b/c he has 2 kids of his own. I confronted him about it, and he said he want help, but kinda blew it off when i kept on him about it.

Someone stole a safe out of my moms house with >20k in jewelry, cash, and passports etc. There is strong speculation that my drug addict brother is involved.

I'm going to try and get more entries in, and maybe expand on some of the life issues I am facing, but time is limited at this current moment.

I joined a gym at the end of October, I hit my max weight in September of 215. I am 6 foot tall, so its not obese, but definetly a wake up call. I just turned 30 this year and dont really feel like seeing 250 b4 i am 40. I have gone to the gym everyday and gone on a modified low carb diet. I am doing cardio and weight training. I am at 194, and starting to tone. It is rough though b/c I go to the gym every workday at 5 am, b4 I head to work.

I have also been playing poker. I have played mostly on doyles room, Ub, and stars this month. I left doylesroom, just b/c the tables are too slow for my liking. I was playing at UB and then I was reading an article on 2+2 about bots, and investigated it a little bit more, and it seems that UB is loaded with bots. I am sure I can beat a bot, just like exploiting a player, but I dont know about playing a team of bots. I have decided to play at Stars exclusively, just b/c I know when they seiaze accts of cheaters they distribute it back to the affected players. I also read on the bot forums that they were having some problems with stars, so I assume stars is always taking measurs to stop or prevent bots. At least more so than UB.

I have cashed out some of my winning s for the month, but here are my results up to tonight.I am pretty pleased with them. And have a nice chunk of rakeback coming.I have decided to set a goal for myself of getting Supernova status next year. When you do the math, its not really that unreasonable, I would need to earn on avg 275 VPP per day, playing limit 1-2 tabling you can earn that in about 2 hours of play.

I hope to add more later, maybe on turkey day :-) Hope everyone has a good thanksgiving!
